Philadelphia Railroad Accident Lawyers

Helping Employees With FELA Claims

Railroad work has the potential for dangerous traumatic accidents. Some of the most common railroad injuries, however, are repetitive stress injuries to the knees, shoulders, arms, legs and back. Other occupational diseases such as exposure to toxins are also common.

Whether you suffered an injury from an accident or cumulative trauma, you may be eligible for benefits under the Federal Employers Liability Act (FELA). This program provides benefits for injured railroad employees and their families. However, FELA benefits are tough to obtain unless you have a lawyer's help. To schedule a free consultation with our Philadelphia railroad accident attorneys, please call Kenneth R. Schuster & Associates, P.C., at 610-892-9200.

Your Advocate After a Work Injury

After an on-the-job injury, railroad representatives will try to get a statement from you. Before you give your statement, you may want to speak with a lawyer. The railroad rep will work to protect the company from liability and expense. Who will be protecting your interests?

Injured railroad workers have to complete a personal injury report for the company. Employees may be disciplined or fired for filing late or incorrect personal injury reports. If information is missing, the railroad may deny responsibility for all or part of your injury. We can help you complete the report correctly and include all required information.

Depending on your injury, FELA benefits may provide compensation for the following:

• Past and future medical treatment
• Past and future lost wages
• Past and future pain, suffering and mental distress
• Value of a lost limb or organ
• Death benefits to the family

While you have three years from the date of injury to file a claim, the sooner you begin, the better your chances of receiving benefits. The FELA claims process can take months or years, depending on the nature of the injury and specifics of the claim. Our attorneys can assist you with every step of the process.
